The Other Big WWII Movie

Rating: 6/10 (31 March 2016)

The events of D-Day, told on a grand scale from both the Allied and German points of view.
It seems that everyone is familiar with "Tora Tora Tora". I had to watch it in school, and I am sure many others did, too. It is a great look at both sides of the Pearl Harbor attack. Maybe not 100% accurate, but a serious attempt to see a global event from multiple angles.
Fewer people probably know about "Longest Day", even though it has a similar premise and a great cast -- Robert Mitchum, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, and many others. It looks at D-Day from multiple sides, and taught me that Hitler liked to take naps. It even had some humor (which may actually be inappropriate -- this seems like a very bloodless war).
